A Pennsylvania State Trooper has been charged with felony strangulation and several misdemeanors related to allegedly using his position in law enforcement to restrain and involuntarily commit an ex-girlfriend to a psychiatric facility.
37-year-old Ronald Davis is also charged with unlawful restraint, false imprisonment, recklessly endangering another person.
Davis's attorney claims he was trying to help a troubled young woman.
The Dauphin County District Attorney says they have video evidence of the alleged use of force.
The ex-girlfriend spent 72 hours in a psychiatric facility.
